used this marker in a full day of paintball play. (about six hours) on a woods course with hills and valleys. Even after the long day and many shots fired, the marker still felt light. Found it very easy to point and took to it immediately. The only marker I ever had that felt this good in my hands was a Palmer Blazer. CCM owners love their markers and I fully understand that, but the SM-1 cost me half the price that is worth living without the auto-trigger.

Conclusion:

if you are looking to move up from a standard sniper or sniper conversion. I recommend the SM-1.
